The InterTTH Consolation Knockouts 2019

[Ian]

Second time's the charm!

This is for the poor bastards who didn't make it through the first round of the main tournament.

So we have 41 people but THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE WINNER (of the first round losers.)

First order of business: Guybrush. 41 is a pain in the arse number to get down to a round of 32 with only one set of extra voting. And you barely ever post. And will probably never read this anyway. And got zero votes, so tough shit.

Second order of business: As discussed in the other thread, this will be a totally random draw and a straight knockout. I don't have the whole bracket yet as I don't want the excitement to become too unbearable for us all. So first things first we'll have the eight matchups between the 16 people who got the least votes but without being Guybrush. Once this is done we'll have our full round of 32.

I'll give this until Sunday night at, say, 6pm for people to vote.

SOMEHOW A QUALIFYING ROUND FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GOT VOTED OUT ONCE
Luke Emia vs. Josh
Spoonsky vs. Greg
Demerit vs. Adamski
Limoutsonik vs. AyDee
Five Time vs. TG09
Clunge vs. Nick
Bob Sacamano vs. hfswjyr
Boom-Boom-18 vs. Manc

Sadly in an alternate universe where I got it right the first time you may have had the chance to witness the internet forum bloodsport of Greg vs. Josh.

Really simple, bold your winner (or delete the losers if you're on a phone) and then by Sunday evening we'll have our full UEFATotoWinners' Cup bracket ready to go.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nick vs. Clunge
AyDee vs. Five Time
Greg vs. Josh
Limoutsonik vs. Demerit

[Pepe]

EDIT; Wait hold on I think I've fucked up here. proper post appearing shortly.

:harold:

[Pepe]

Baz vs. Ian

[Ian]

The real crime here is that I may have deprived you all of the bareknuckle street fight that would have been Greg vs. Josh.

[Spikey M]

Phonics vs Spikey

[phonics]

Can I just say how on brand it is that the second tier tournament kicked off with an absolute shit show of a draw? It's like that Carabao Cup draw that happened at 4am in China where they drew the same team against each other.

[Pepe]

Is "Greg" Greg Lougayness?

Clunge and Bob were actually quite tricky.

[Ian]

Fixed, luckily the first round wasn't voting for internet forum member-ranking tournament skills.

:D

[phonics]

Is "Greg" Greg Lougayness?

Self-reminder that I have to give him points because it was about half a decade before an IRL conversation had me find out there was a real person called Greg Louganis.

[Baz]

Is "Greg" Greg Lougayness?
Yeah.

[Spikey M]

Is "Greg" Greg Lougayness?

If there's another Greg then I don't want to hear about them.

And the round of 32, completely random, proper football man's no-seeds draw as generated by the lovely people at Random.org is:

Henry

Samadini - tough one

Manc - Sean?
Max Power

ScousePig vs. mikem

Browning
Alan Shearer the 2nd
hfswjyr vs 7om - both played werewolf?
Bernanke vs. Five Time

If I've flouted the rules forgive me, or disregard my votes. Some people I know literally nothing about.

Looks like I'm in for a ding dong battle with that well known powerhouse, erm, mikem.

Browning versus Dan has Sky Sports and/or BT Sports written all over it.

Some really tough decisions to make in there.

[Panda Bear]

The number of people dead to me is skyrocketing.

[Pepe]

You need to perform week in week out if you want to succeed in this competition.

[Ian]

Counted all the votes so I have my scores up to date.

In terms of leads people hold so far there are:
- Five leading by 7
- Two each leading by 9, 8 or 5
- One each leading by 11(!), 6, 4, 3 or 1

So some that ought to be foregone conclusions, some needing a hefty run of votes to get back in and some where it's ALL TO PLAY FOR.

Don't forget to get your votes in if you haven't already, lads. If you don't feel Panda or Phonics hate you enough currently this is your chance.

[Gray Fox]

Bernanke vs. Alan Shearer the 2nd
Luke Emia vs. Smjffy
mo vs. manc
Adamski vs. Samadini
Andy vs. Reg
Browning vs. ScousePig
Max Power vs. phonics
Byron vs. 7om

Last 2 were the toughest.

Exact opposite of my votes.:cool:

[thommo]

After losing by 1 to someone who flounces away from the board in a meltdown every couple of months, I was tempted to boycott voting.

Bernanke vs. Alan Shearer the 2nd
Luke Emia vs. Smjffy
mo vs. manc
Adamski vs. Samadini
Andy vs. Reg
Browning vs. ScousePig
Max Power vs. phonics

Damn it... I should have voted last round to get Thommo that tie.

[Ian]

Obligatory reminder about voting. I can't be bothered @ing a load of people like Baz. I feel like the Magic of the Cup should speak for itself.

And I'm lazy.

[Ian]

Bernanke 10 - 13 Alan Shearer the 2nd
Luke Emia 13 - 10 Smjffy
mo 14 - 8 manc
Adamski 5 - 18 Samadini
Andy 10 - 13 Reg
Browning 13 - 10 ScousePig
Max Power 7 - 16 phonics
Byron 12 - 11 7om

[Baz]

Byron 12 - 11 7om

:drool:

[SvN]

I genuinely have no idea who's winning from that lot.

[Ian]

Everything other than Phonics, Sama and Mo's wins were proper back-and-forth until the end when the margins widened a little.

[SvN]

Surprised (but delighted) that Smiffy lost.

[Ian]

QUARTER FINAL DRAW SPONSORED BY UNSEEDED PROPER FOOTBALL MEN JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS ON YER 'EAD SON
Byron vs. phonics

Browning vs. Reg

As always this draw has brought to you by the beautiful people at Random.org.

[Luke Emia]

Surprised (but delighted) that Smiffy lost.

So am I only looked in here to see if I'd lost.

[Ian]

Weirdly the draw has sort of worked out as if it was a bracket anyway.

True randomness ftw.

[Luke Emia]

Can I vote for myself? Obviously I will vote in the other ties.

[Ian]

Yeah, you can vote for whomever you like. You won't be breaking the rules, only risking the disdain of your peers.

But fuck those guys.

He contributes quite a lot in the cricket thread.

[Dave.]

Also, I like the way this is going:

Byron vs. phonics
Luke Emia vs. Alan Shearer the 2nd
mo vs. Samadini
Browning vs. Reg

:D

[Pepe]

This will be the round that splits the board.

[Ian]

I'm not sure what I'll do if we have any draws. Post count as the decider doesn't seem very Proper Football Man and arranging for people to meet up and fight just seems impractical.

[phonics]

He contributes quite a lot in the cricket thread.
Not a real sport. Doesn’t count.

Edit: this is the post that’ll lose me the vote.

[SvN]

A draw should have a 1 post shootout - each member gets a post to explain why you should vote for them. Then a 12 hour window for votes.

[Ian]

I considered something more stupid and elaborate along the shootout lines which I won't reveal because I can't decide whether the lolness of it would outweigh the impracticality.

Byron / phonics is the tie of the round.

Draws should embody the spirit of the competition so flip a coin or something. Can you draw straws on the internet?

[Ian]

At least one more set of votes today please, chums.

We've got one that's currently tied, one that's close and I dunno if I'll be able to talk people into a livestreamed dance-off if that remains the case.

[randomlegend]

Byron vs. phonics
Luke Emia vs. Alan Shearer the 2nd

[Spikey M]

You've just ruined the dance off you dick.

[Ian]

I'm sure you can organise the voting to make it happen, Spikey. Always worked a treat in Werewolf.

[Spikey M]

Someone inverse all of his votes. Now.

I would win by just turning up.

[randomlegend]

Chortle mein balls.

[Spikey M]

Sama. :cool:

[Ian]

Okay well I've been ending the voting for this in line with Baz's, so here are the scores:

CORRECTED AFTER A CORRUPTION ENQUIRY
Byron 13 - 15 phonics
Luke Emia 9 - 19 Alan Shearer the 2nd
mo 8 - 20 Samadini
Browning 14 - 14 Reg

So we HAVE A DRAW. Now, Browning and Reg if the two of you really want to have an online dance-off then I think the board would thank you for it and it would certainly make this the tournament to be in.

Failing that, we'll call this plan B, in the spirit of footballers these days loving a bit of the social media I'd like you to both PM me a message of no more than 280 characters (on the Robbie Keane-esque theme of it always being your dream since childhood to post on TTH would be lovely but anything entertaining will do) to try and sway people to keep you in the Proper Football Man's InterTTH Consolation Cup.

Once I have both I'll post them and we'll have a VOTE-OFF over the weekend for whatever amount of time I arbitrarily decide upon when the moment comes. Where hopefully we won't just end up with another draw, which is a flaw in this plan. To save us having a double draw I might PM my own vote for such a tie to somebody beforehand so that it is to be used only in the event of another draw as I'd rather not sway the results.

[Lewis]

Why does one tie have more votes than the others?

[Ian]

Probably corruption.

Or I clicked the macro twice, let me check in case Sama somehow rigged this against the ever-popular mo.

[Ian]

Yeah I must have just clicked the macro twice.

So good news, mo! You lost by 12 rather than 13.

[mo]

Well now that’s a relief.

[SvN]

I hope these cunts both step up.

[phonics]

Woof that was close. I hadn't actually been keeping up with the count and thought I was the tie having seethed a couple of people into voting against me and forgetting to do it myself.

[Pepe]

I hope these cunts both step up.

If they don't then they should both be eliminated and their fixture replaced by the people's choice, Josh v Greg.

[Spikey M]

Dance you sex bitches.

[Disco]

If they don't then they should both be eliminated and their fixture replaced by the people's choice, Josh v Greg.

This might be the best idea I've ever seen on this board.

[Spikey M]

There's no might about it.

Tease me you sluts.

[Pleb]

Put them in a Triple Threat with Phonics and make Samadini v Alex Shearer the 2nd the second semi final.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Phonics would get slaughtered.

[Ian]

Well now that’s a relief.

:D


If they don't then they should both be eliminated and their fixture replaced by the people's choice, Josh v Greg.

That was already my plan. :cool:

[Ian]

Neither Reg nor Browning have PMed me yet. I'm beginning to think they don't have the PASSION for it.

[Spikey M]

They're probably just practicing their dance moves.

Just to add some urgency to proceedings, I would like to table the motion that if they do not post dance videos, the first losing poster to do so gets entry to the next round in both of their places.

[Ian]

Right well given the two of them are a pair of useless bastards who have done NOTHING to try and earn your love, dear voters, I'm just totting up their votes from previous rounds. Reg squeezes through 41-38.

What an anticlimax. And a disgrace to the historic InterTTH Conosolation Knockouts.

So the Semi Final draw is:
phonics vs. Samadini
Reg vs. Alan Shearer the 2nd

The two big scorers of the previous round kept apart for the semis. Just how the broadcasters would have wanted it, the bastards.

As the final for this will be next Friday onwards the fixture list will be:
Grand Final
Semi Final 1 winner vs. Semi Final 2 winner

"Once In A Lifetime"
Greg vs. Josh
I'm picturing this.

Put them in a Triple Threat with Phonics and make Samadini v Alex Shearer the 2nd the second semi final.
:moop:

[Ian]

Then I think to coincide with the final as the Super Tournament will have an extra week than this one I'm going to have some sort of big money, Mayweather vs. McGregor-esque exhibition with the winner of the Consolation Knockout taking on the winner... no, survivor of Greg vs. Josh.

[Ian]

If you want me to take your ideas more seriously maybe try getting all the posters' names right first.

What, so you can get fisted inside-out by Lewis?

If it is genuine mistakes it'd be helpful if people could delete their first post and re-do it. I've already resigned myself to having to count these from scratch tomorrow but it'd be helpful if I wasn't also having to remember / note who has voted.
